    Allah, exalted is His remembrance, says: indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter — the resurrection of the Hour, the return to Allah after death, the reward and the punishment — زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ('We have adorned their deeds for them'): he says: We have made the ugliness of their deeds beloved to them and made that easy for them. فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ('so that they wander blindly'): he says: they wander about bewildered in the misguidance of their ugly deeds which We have adorned for them, supposing that they are doing good.
